A BRAVE YOUNG LADY.
Globe democrat.

~~--~~-~
One of the most quietly talked-of
occurrences in society of the last few
weeks has been an event happening
week ago last Saturday in the surf at
Shelter Island, Long Island, N. y,
but which. owing to the delicacy of
the young lady, and the desire of her
family that she should not be given
any special notOriety, has been very
carefully kept from the general public.
The central figure of the occurrence is
Miss Nina Matthews, daughter OF Mr..
Leonard Matthews, of this city. Miss
Matthews, who has for some time been
pursuing art studies in Paris, and re-
turned only few months ago, has tor
some time been visiting at Shelter
Island with Mrs. Hamilton Daugha-
day and Miss Annie Daughaday.
Very fond of the water, she
had been in the surf a great deal,
and couple of weeks ago saved
another bather from drowning. A
week ago last Saturday she performed
another service of the same character,
the person saved being Mr.. George
Balm, Jr., of this city. There were a
large number of bathers in the water,
and ali were enjoying themselves very
much, when Miss Matthews looked
out over the surf and saw man evil
IDENTIFY in distress, and saw him sink.
Watching for him to come up, she
saw very plainly that be was strug-
Cling, and, striking out for him,
caught him just as he came up after
sinking the second time. She en-
deavored to hold him until assistance
could arrive, but he had caught such
a firm hold on her arm that, despite
her efforts, he sank again, taking her
under also. Retaining her hold on
him, she began treading water, and
thus managed to keep him up until a
Mr.. Jaffreys, of New York, and Mr..
Pope, a son of Mr.. w. s. Pope, of
this city, came to her assistance, when
Mr.. Balm was taken out of the water
and resuscitated.
Miss Matthews is diminutive lit
tie lady, and though an expert swim.
mer, her success in saving life under
the circumstances is somewhat re-
markable. She learned to swim at
her fathers country residence, near
this city. Mr.. Matthews has an ele-
CANT place for bathing there, and his
friends say :. has recognized the ad-
vantages of being able to swim; that
he has persisted as a teacher until all
of his children can swim like fish.
His method was to row ahead of them
with rope over the stern of the boat,
until acquiring confidence in them
selves they would boldly strike out
alone in the deepest waters. The
summer residents of Shelter Island,
and particularly of the Manhansett
House, where Mrs. Daughaday and
party are stopping, are enthusiastic
over Miss Mathews brave acts, and
have had an elegant testimonial pre-
pared for her in New York.

LOVE IN COURT.

4 very interesting little affair OF the
heart was brought to light in Chi
cago police court the other day. A
young and signing Teuton named
Augustus Cans, lives in a fashionable
boarding house on one of Chicago's
fashionable streets, and in the same
house resides Miss Hensen, a young
lady whose blue eyes first saw the light
ON the banks of the murmuring Rhine.
She was as plump as muscovy duck,
and as pretty as red-topped boots, and
as soon as the full round orbs of Gus
rested on her form he fell kerchunk at
her feet and was her slave. They
were both from the Fatherland. They
warbled the same musical language,
and they loved right from the jump.
This was as it should have been. 1t
was perfectly correct that Gus should
yearn for Bessie, and that Bessie
should sigh and banker for Gus. But
they kissed, and thereby hangs a
troublous tale.
On the other side of the street, d.
rectly opposite Gus boarding house.
was another boarding house in which
roasted a bony, envious and bald
headed man named Ross, who was
the pilot of a Sunday sahool. Gus
and Bessie were wont to appear at the
trent window on the second floor and
manifest their happiness by clapping
their lips together and rolling their
loving eyes in a frenzy of ecstacy. and
every time they kissed there was a
soft seeking sound as if some one had
pulled a corncob stopper out of a mo-
lasses jug. The bald-headed Ross
across the way saw and heard, and
his meuth watered and he writhed
with envy.
He called the attention of several
attenuated old maids who boarded
in the same house to the daily per-
Torrance of the happy couple and
they became envious and commenced
to hate Bessie as 6ercely as the puri-
tanical Ross detested the fortunate
and gallant Gus. After a week or
more of constant watching, Ross one
day saw Gus give Bessie an unusually
lusty smack and then playfully bite
the rim of her little pink ear. This
was more than Ross could stand.
The green-eyed monster which had
been feeding on his heart beloved
within him, and in his rage, although
it is not so recorded, he kicked him.
self, and when the old maids heard
how Bessie's ear had been nibbled,
they invoked the law to put stop to
the ambrose proceedings which har-
rowed their dry and withered souls.
The result was that the blissful Gus
was arrested on charge of disorderly |
conduct.
When the judge, however, learned
the facts in the case, he sized up the
bald-headed Ross and his aged and
minated feminine supporters, and
dismissed the prisoner on the ground
that jealousy, as well as lovely wo-
man was at the bottom of the affair.
The action of the judge, while it
was perfectly just, shows that at
some time in his career he also in
dulged in and appreciated the luxury
of kiss.

ARIZONA'S CONDITION.
Gov. ZuliclS Praises the Navajoes and
Denounces the Apaches.

WASHINGTON, October I7th.-C. Never
Iulick, Governor of Arizona, in his annual
report estimates the population of that
Territory at 9O,O00-an increase of nearly
$1,000 over the census estimate of 1880.
The aggregate assessed valuation of taxa
bic property for the present year is $26,-
3l3,500-an increase of nearly 5000, 900 over
1886. By reduced expenditures, increased
taxable values, and the gradual lessening
of the tax rate, the Territory is now
absolutely on a safe and healthy
financial basis. The agricultural possibii-
tiles OF Arizona, with proper irrigation
continues the report-can scarcely be over
estimated. Its live. stock interests are in a
hourishing condition. Taken in the aggre-
gate, the mining interests of Arizona are
on safe and paying basis.
The Governor says there are few portions
of the Republic outside of Michigan, Wis
consin and Washington Territory that con-
tain such extensive bodies of timber above
average quality.
The public-school system of Arizona is a
subject Of pride to all of her citizens, and
1t pays to its teachers higher salaries than
any other State or Territory, and requires a
higher standard of ability.
The Governor recommends that the 10th
and 3Gth sections of school land in every
township be sold and the proceeds be ap-
piled to school purposes of the Territory.
As to the Indians. the report states that
of all the tribes in the Territory, the Nava-
JOS are the most prosperous, intelligent and
enterpriSing, and doubtless the healthiest
tribe in the United States. They number
about $1,000 souls, and are increasing. 1t
is estimated that they own 10000 horses
and 100000 sheep. They farm quite ex-
tensively, and raise good crops. The
Apaches occupy the San Carlos Reserva-
ton, containing about 2,52S,0O0 acres of
the best agricultural land in the Territory.
AS race, the report says, they are lazy,
thievish and murderons, seemingly incapa-
BILE of civilization. As long as the Apache
Indians are suffered to remain within the
borders of the Territory, just so long will
the peace of Arizona be insecure and her
progress be retarded.

MoRMoxs AND STATEHOOD.

Governor of Utah.

Views Expressed in the Report of shs
Governor of Utah.
WASHINGTON, October 17th-The annual
report of Caleb w. West, Governor of Utah
Territory, estimates the population of that
Territory at nearly 203 eco. and the assessed
taxable property at $35 S65, $50. The com
meTelal affairs OF the Territory are said to
be In prosperous condition; its agri-
cultural products abundant and of excel
lent grade; IFS stock interests flourishing,
and its mining outlook very promising.
The Governor recommends the repeal Of
the alien land Act which relates TO mines.
To the discussion of the subject of State
hood for Utah the Governor devotes cou-
siderable space. In the course of his re-
marks be says: 1T will be observed that
the movement for Statehood was inaugu-
rated by the leaders of the Norm N people.
Their representatives. alone took part in
the deliberations of the Convention. When
we remember how recently those people
avowedly held and maintained a position
which placed them in opposition with the
Federal laws, the holding of which in the
past had brought them into conflict
with the people with whom they lived
IN Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, and
in antagonism with all eomers to this Ter
rltory not identified with them, we recall
the tact that failure to Weld that position
would have cost them the political control
which they have held since the organiza-
ton OF the Territory, and that the secur-
ing of statehood will place in their hands
and take from Congress the power that it
had been compelled to exercise to regulate
and control their actions in accordance
with the moral sense OF the country and
Christian civilization. Before clothing
them with sovereignty, should not Com
gress wait until the action is suited to
the word-until their laudable profess
sions have had time to ripen into
praiseworthy works, and until the conduct
of the people and the legislation of the Ter
rtory, in consonance with their profess
sions, are brought into harmony with the
general views Of the country and the Terri
tory placed in the advanced position it
would have attained but for the past atti-
tude of those who are now asking the boon
of Statehood
1t is more than probable that the ques-
ton of Utah as political factor in national
affairs will be considered in connection
with the application for its admission as a
State, but neither of the great political par
hes-DemOcratic nor Republican-so far as
the past history of this people is concerned,
can Law claim with any degree of certainty
to their support"

WASHINGTON, October 17th.-[Special. i
The disclosures of municipal corruption
and jury-bribing in San Francisco have
attracted a great deal of attention in Wash
ington, and deep interest is felt in the out
come of the efforts now being made to
purge the city government of crookedness
and fraud. The heads of the executive de-
partments at the national capital, both un-
der Republican and Democratic admins
trauons, have been aware of the methods
that were largely connected with the dis
tribution of patronage on the Pacific
coast, and of the influences that were
potent in awarding Federal offices. 1t has
not been possible, however. for the persons
holding the appointing power to ignore the
demands of those identified with the con-
trolling factions in local politics

now thoroughly aroused TO the gravity of
the situation. The time seems to be ripe

lS56-the people of California gave an en-
phatic manifestation of their disapproval
OF corruption in State and municipal af-
fairs. The remembrance of that time
should teach the present generation that
the spirit of the bold, intrepid pioneers is
not dead. The time cannot be far distant
when ballot-box suffers and political
bosses must go, and leave the adminstra-
ton of affairs where it belongs-in the
hands of the people. There is no longer a
necessity for the organization or existence
OF Vigilance Committee. The patriotic
citizens of California are amply able to
vindicate their wrongs without recourse to
force. They have machinery which, put
IN force by lawful methods, will purge any
community of the evils now existing. and
the people of the State, regardless of party
aftiiiation, should unite to accomplish this
most desirable end.
